Various features around Wightwick Manor (Grade 2)
The largest collection of listed buildings within the entire Borough, owned by
the National Trust and well worth a visit if you’ve never been.
Wightwick Manor itself was built in 1887 and extended 1893 by Edward Ould for
Theodore Mander with interior design by William Morris and C. E. Kempe. The house
is an important example of the architecture and design of the late 19th Century,
containing much work by the leading designers of the day; one of only a few such
houses.
There are many other architecturally important buildings and special features
in its grounds. |

The Clevelands (and
its Weeping Chapel) - Tettenhall Road
A typical gentleman's residence, now part of the Wolverhampton Rehabilitation
Hospital. But this one has a funny little building at the back.
Bryan Youngs, when working at the hospital made enquiries about it. He wrote: "Apparently
this was used as a weeping chapel: when any of the women staying at the West
Park Hospital, when it was the Women's Hospital, had lost someone close to them,
they were allowed to go to the chapel to weep or just be alone for a while". |

St. Jude's Church (Miss
Stokes’ Church) - Tettenhall Road
Built between 1867-9 by W. H. Bidlake. With a later 19th Century spire by T.
H. Fleeming and decorated in Gothic style. Interestingly, the church was built
in advance of any population requirements of the time at the expense of Miss
Stokes, a local resident, for her convenience! And her money ran out before the
spire was erected. |
